Another day passed and Galatea returned to the shores of Sicily, in case the handsome youth might return.

After hours passed of waiting, the young man came back.

He strolled a bit in the shores and hurried back. Galatea wanted to take the chance so she followed the young man.

She gazed at his beauty.
She can't help but fall for the mortal.

The young man noticed that someone might be following him.

He sensed movement by the trees.

"Who's that?" He called out as he held firmly to his wooden staff.

"Who's that?! Answer..." he called out once more.

He checked by the trees and there he terrified the very obsessed maiden.

"I'm sorry fair maiden, did I terrify you?"

He went closer to the maiden and was amazed by her beauty.

"Cat got your tongue?" The young man smiled.

"Quite so..."

"What would be the name of this fairest maiden?" He asked.

"I'm Galatea, a sea nymph."

"Your name is as fair as you are Galatea."

Galatea smiled the sweetest smile.

"What's your name then fair lad?"

"I'm Acis, a shepherd boy. Were you following me?"

"I did. Is it okay?"

"It is. I'm grateful that you followed me, cause if you didn't I might not meet you Galatea."

Acis surely fell in love with the obsessed maiden.
